Fly fishing for Carp on Bowes all July & Aug 4pm till 8pm (except Mon & Wed evenings)
Evening sessions fly fishing for carp has produced mixed results with some excellent sport for fly anglers and great fun. James Cutting from Gateshead on Sunday evening took 4 carp to 2.5lb, on fly rod weight 5, Scierra Ti & Rod Greys Platinum Floating Line. Caught on an strike indicator approx 3†down with worm & paste. Late on the carp came to the surface to dog biscuits however no sooner had they arrived, along comes the rain the fish went deep once again. All is required is a couple of settled days and the carp will be right on top.

Deer hair sedge
